Oxherder
Indianapolis sludge outfit Oxherder has been operating since 2010, drawing from the deep well of Southern-influenced sludge metal and distilling it through a Midwest sensibility. The name evokes the Zen ox-herding parables, and there is something meditative in their approach — a disciplined, grinding heaviness that punishes and focuses in equal measure.
